Culture and benefits at Black & White Zebra

BWZ embodies the values of Impact, Iterate, Adaptable and Fun. Impact Your impact is felt. You accomplish amazing amounts of important work. You demonstrate consistently strong performance so colleagues can rely upon you. You focus on great results. You exhibit bias-to-action and avoid analysis-paralysis. You’re effective and predisposed to action. You just do things. You have a sense of ownership and are resourceful. You learn rapidly and eagerly. You care intensely about BWZ’s success. You are tenacious. Iterate You make it great, but you make it. You create it, you make it better. You identify root causes and get beyond treating symptoms. You challenge prevailing assumptions when warranted, and suggest better approaches. You create new ideas that prove useful. You keep us nimble by minimizing complexity and finding time to simplify. You smartly separate what must be done well now, and what can be improved later. Adaptable You embrace and drive change. You know that nothing’s set in stone. You embrace everything written in pencil. You know with each step we take, the landscape changes. You understand if we don’t create the thing that makes us obsolete, someone else will. You’re innately curious and constantly evolving. You’re a life-long learner. You value fresh perspectives and constantly challenge assumptions. You abandon the current plan when you notice that it’s not working, or when circumstances change. You ditch the old plan and make a new one. Fun You look for ways to play. You laugh everyday. You love challenges, experiments and aren’t afraid of trying new things. You inspire others. You embrace failure as a learning opportunity. You inject fun into your work and the things we create. You take your work, but not yourself seriously. You find ways to love what you do. You understand that work life balance is a poor substitute for life giving work.
